Setup Project, launching a ReleaseNotes PDF after installation?

[Derrick]

What's the best way to go about doing this? I see the "Readme" dialog you
can add, but that seems like only a small text box to put some .rtf text in.
I would like to pop up a somewhat lengthy .pdf.

Thanks in advance!

The one problem with this is that there is an assumption that the system on
which the install is run has Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.

If this is a safe assumption for the machines on to which you're running
this install, or you are going to first check for whether the PDF reader is
installed, then this can be done by writing a custom action.

The easiest way would be to create a new project which checks for Acrobat
Reader then fires off the PDF, then to include this in the "install" section
of the custom actions. Scripts can also be run in Custom Actions, so this
would be another approach.

Hope that helps.

Dan.
